Just tilted away 15k, please help!

[CostaRicaBill]

I've been having an absolutely horrible month which finally culminated in a 30/60 tilt session last night where I tilted away 10k. I had already lost 5k this week and just had the most horrible session of my life last night. I still have a decent sized roll but this really hurts. I guess I'm just looking for some words of encouragment or advice. I keep thinking that it will take me far too long to recover this money playing my normal limits so I'm afraid that I will go back to 30/60. What can I do? Thanks.

take a break

Don't go back to 30/60, and take a break.
Take a few days off minimum.
The games will be there when you're ready to come back.

If you don't do both of those things you run a great risk of losing most or all of your roll.

Bill,

Sorry to hear this. Definitely take a break. Go to the beach. Or Zona Blue.

Definetely take a break and use the time to study. Let that money go or it will tear you up and you will probably give yourself little chance to win, it is probably a small amount in the life of your poker career.

Persue other interests so your mind is not on poker. Do other things that bring you joy such as movies, music, gardening, fishing, or spending time with friends and family.

Thanks for the replies, it just feels like months of playing hard down the drain. Trying to seperate myself from the money but its hard to fight the urges to move up and make the money back that I lost at those limits.

P.S. I hate the beach and Zona Blue

There's no crying in poker! No, seriously, poker can be so hard on you - with luck going in every direction. Like everyone else said - take a break and try to get a good frame of mind about coming back at a LOWER level to play solid poker and build up your money again.
Good luck.

Yup, take a little break and clear your head. Come back playing a little tighter and make good decisions. You may also want to come back at a lower limit and work your way back...

[censored] that, it will take u all month to make that back at your normal limits... Just wait till your in a really good frame of mind and rdy to play and try 30/60 again.
